Are we talking elk:

or what in German is called ,,Elch" ("moose" in English)?

Yep, that's the joke. It's a reference to a conversation Lohr and I had on #fiftychat.

On the other hand, horses are totally elks without horns.

Sweet! I will from now on say that one of my hobbies are elk riding.

Well. I am back from Varna. Feel tired, but otherwise it was great!

 

[Takhisis]

I've never not seen the sea. Well, you know what I mean.

No man is an island. But he might live in one.

Just finished the first lecture for the 30 hour course needed to get a hunting license in Norway. If all goes to plan and I pass the exam, the Snerk will be armed and dangerous within a couple of months. Looking forward to autumn.

A real viking needs only a sword and shield.

We're talking the animal on the second picture. I've heard conflicting information on weather they're called elk or moose in English, so I dunno really.

Always distrust the Amerikaner schweinhunds.

I learned German playing Wolfenstein 3D, which is as good as being in actual Germany. Where did you learn your German?

How was the sea?

Wet, and a bit stormy. And while I was on a ship, I discovered that Russians don't believe in the existence of tall sailors.

 

[Snerk]

Unsurprisingly, elk riding isn't fiction in Finland.

In that case, I am looking forward going elk/moose/MØØSE/elg/larger-than-a-bagder-animal/elch hunting with you.

I love the concept of a svinhund. Loyal to a fault and tastes delicious with bbq sauce.

I suppose if you had an underground lair on one, you could then say you lived in an island.

For some reason "Nederlands sprekende Nederlanders in Nederland" does sound kinda catchy!

I officially have a place to live in Berkeley.

It's happening guys.

 

[Traitorfish]

All I know about Berkeley is Amoeba Records and Banana Slugs, and I can't fault either of those things. Good for you!
